5. This type of help board can be easily cut and shaped. In which nail fix is done without any damage from the hammer.
6. Properties like strong, dense, flat, hard etc., can be used properly instead of wood of medium-density fiberboard.
7. MDF fiberboard can be given the look of natural wood veneers using laminators.
8. The MDF board can be used easily. It can be easily given any shape.

Disadvantages of MDF Board

1. Medium-density fiberboard is weaker than wood. Furniture made from MDF cannot be used for a long time. However, medium-density fiberboard is not more expensive than wood. So if it is to be used for a long time, it seems to be a loss of money.
2. Medium-density fiberboard cannot withstand extreme stress. As a result, it breaks down.
3. Medium-density fiberboard has the property of absorbing water faster than wood. As a result, the MDF board swells and slowly begins to break. So everyone should consider using MDF in humid places.
4. The nail and screw in the medium-density fiberboard should be carefully fixed. The use of a hammer should be avoided while fixing the nail in MDF. The MDF board is very weak. Pilot gaps should be used for screw fixing.
5. Particular care should be taken when cutting medium-density fiberboard as the production of MDF includes urea-formaldehyde. Which can cause inflammation in the lungs and eyes
6. Dust produced when cutting the MDF board is harmful to respiration.
